Radiotherapy of inoperable esophageal cancer provided palliation for dysphagia in only 40% of the patients treated over the past 5 years at our hospital. The remaining patients were unable to eat a regular diet even after radiotherapy and to provide them with nourishment, a gastrostomy and/or IVH were required. We feel that the release of the patient from a medical environment will lead to a better quality of remaining life. From our experience with a prosthesis tube for palliation of a malignant esophageal stricture, 4 patients showed excellent results with this way of improving their oral intake.
在我院过去5年接受治疗的无法手术的食管癌患者中，放射治疗仅使40%的患者吞咽困难得到缓解。其余患者即使在放疗后仍无法正常饮食，为了给他们提供营养，需要进行胃造口术和/或静脉高营养。我们认为让患者脱离医疗环境将使剩余生命质量得到改善。根据我们使用假体管缓解恶性食管狭窄的经验，4例患者通过这种改善经口摄入量的方法取得了极佳效果。
